History
C19 small harbour building, presently the harbourmasters office. Possibly rebuilt in 1874, in 1861 there was a weighhouse on the site when the existing barometer in a Bath stone case was set up, but in 1874 plans for a new harbourmaster's office to cost £90 are mentioned, suggesting that it was then rebuilt. Restored in late C20.
